Sick as a... something.

[yinepus_brat]

Started hacking Saturday night, and it feels like my lungs have fluid in them and are trying to rip themselves out of my body one piece at a time by way of my throat, thereby causing me all sorts of pain and discomfort. And my throat is feeling very swollen and abused and so I do not wish for this to happen. So I am calling in sick tonight at work, and finding a place under a blanket (or a couple) to curl up and hide for the next couple days. This pretty much puts a kabosh on any social activity until then, as I - A. Am not the best or most exciting guest because coughing just does not do well in conversations; and B. I am most likely contageous, in one way or another. So I will be out of time, and out of touch. I WILL however be at work Thurs night, if I am still breathing (and maybe even if I'm not, for that matter).

And no, I don't do chicken soup, not at all, not in the least bit. But I am looking for a sudoku puzzle book to keep my mind occupied as my body tries to fight off ANOTHER cold for the year. If I didn't know better, I'd swear that my screwed up schedule and my lack of sleep are starting to wear my body down.

Naaaaahhhhh.

*edited* Well, I can only hide under the blankies for so long, seems I don't have enough earned hours to take a sick day. Not if I want to go on vacation here in a couple weeks to go to Vermont with some very special people. So it's back to bed, and up in time to drag my achy-ass to work tonight. I am so looking forward to this.

So, I'm not the only one who can't stand chicken soup? I'd tell you to get plenty of rest, but since you're already doing that, I won't. ;)

I hope you start feeling better soon.

Oh no, you are not the only one who can't stand chicken soup. Tastes too much like 'turkey slop' which is what my stepfather used to feed us as kids back when we had no money. Yes, sounds disgusting, and it was. Take one cooked and eaten chicken, boil it until it has ABSOLUTELY every last edible (and sometimes not) parts left, and throw in leftovers from the fridge. Any leftovers, all leftovers.

Turns my stomach to this day.

*hugs*

I WANTS to feel better!

Right now I'd settle for half better, or sort of better. OR almost better even.

Hope you feel better! If sudoku on the computer is acceptable, I like websudoku.

What I would LOVE is to get on a regular freaking schedule. What I will accept is to have a healthy body back. *hugs bunches*

And THANK YOU for the site! *goes to look*

Yup. I hear ya. I feel like shit too. I thought it was allergies, my eyes are burning, my nose is stuffed up, sinus pressure is killing me, then last night I started hacking. I don't think it's allergies. Allergy meds aren't working so well. Not one bit. Karen isn't feeling so hot either. I don't suppose we all might have gotten each other sick at Peanut night could we? Grrr....

Not allergies, I don't have the sinus pressure and eye pain thing, but Bear did last week. I have the stuffy nose/runny nose, shit in my lungs, rattle when I breathe, joint achy and feel miserable things.

I don't think it was Peanut night, one of the nurses said that there was an upper resp. infection going around up here that had basically gone by. But, being as I've spent so much time down south where it might be still going strong...

yea. fuckme.

Yeah i got that... still attempting to get over it. Lost my voice for a week due to it... still stratchy... hopefully you didn't get what I had. HUGS!

It's an acute upper respiratory infection... and he said something about possible viral something as well... *hugs muchly* I SO hope you didn't get this!
